I really have been impressed overall with these figures--they tend to strike a nice balance between appearance and playability. In comparison, the Marvel Legends have usually been tremendously playable but not particularly attractive, and the DC Direct figures are usually amazingly pretty but nearly immobile. They also seem to make a good mix of major and obscure characters, which is wonderful. And they don't have permanent snarls (something I always disliked about many of the Marvel Legends). Currently, I'd say that this line is pretty close to my ideal for an action figure.
Cyborg is as nicely done as the other figures I have seen. He has a good range of motion and includes all the jointing typical for this series--the head turns nicely, the knees and elbows and ankles bend, the hips and shoulders turn out, he turns and bends at the waist, and he has those surprisingly useful turns at bicep and mid-thigh. He also stands on his own with little difficulty and sits well. I have absolutely no complaints about the usability of this figure.
He also looks seriously great.
Cyborg spends most of his time hanging out with his fellow Titans, Nightwing and Leg-Fall-Off Girl (DC Direct Donna Troy).
